Think of your fellow manLend him a helping handPut a little love in your heartYou see it’s getting lateOh, please don’t hesitatePut a little love in your heartAnd the world will be a better placeAnd the world will be a better placeFor you and meYou just wait and seeAnother day goes byStill the children cryPut a little love in your heartIf you want the world to knowWe won’t let hatred growPut a little love in your heartAnd the world (and the world)Will be a better placeAll the world (and the world)Will be a better placeFor you (for you)And me (and me)You just wait (just wait)And seeWait and seeTake a good look aroundAnd if you’re looking downPut a little love in your heartI hope when you decideKindness will be your guidePut a little love in your heartAnd the world (and the world)Will be a better placeAnd the world (and the world)Will be a better placeFor you (for you)And me (and me)You just wait (just wait)And seePeople now, put a little love in your heartEach and every dayPut a little love in your heartThere’s no other wayPut a little love in your heartIt’s up to youPut a little love in your heartCome on andPut a little love in your heartYou’ve got toPut a little love in your heart
